Autumn is an exceptionally atmospheric season, which at its peak delights with colours. The ubiquitous browns, yellows, reds, and oranges are colours that can also be used in interiors. How to arrange your home spaces in autumn colours so that they look both modern and atmospheric?

Autumn colours, what are they exactly?








Autumn colours in interiors will work a treat not only when it’s officially autumn outside they are exceptionally cosy, eye-pleasing shades that are worth using to warm up a space all year round. Modern decor, however, will be particularly well complemented not by vibrant oranges, but by muted, subtle shades. So, an ideal choice for home interiors will be, among others, cinnamon, russet, caramel, muted mustard yellow, burgundy, or brown. This doesn't mean you have to completely forgo pumpkin or rowan berry colours in your decor it's just about not choosing overly bright, strong shades as dominant ones. For example, saffron will be a real hit for interiors that need a bit more colour. Among autumn colours, muted greens also appear, such as shades of khaki, sage, or olive after all, at this time of year, they still peek through the gold, yellow, and orange of the leaves.

A contrasting wall in one of the autumn shades

Autumn colours can be used extensively on walls. In modern interiors, white or pastel options are currently enjoying popularity. However, there's nothing to stop you from enlivening the space by painting one of the walls in an autumn shade such as warm brown, russet, or cinnamon. Such a contrasting wall will give the interior a unique character and will catch the eye as soon as you walk in. All you need to do is add a few accessories in the same or a matching colour, and the whole look will be stylish and cohesive. And what if changing the wall colour is out of the question? In such a situation, an excellent way to change the decor will be all kinds of posters and paintings. Such a colourful addition will look wonderful on the wall and will easily transform the look of the interior.

An autumn-style seating set

An ideal way to incorporate autumn colours into your decor without having to repaint walls is to choose a seating set in one of these colours. A sofa and armchairs in russet, mustard, or chocolate shades look exceptional against a light wall and brighten up the room beautifully. If you're not planning to change furniture but want to introduce an autumnal atmosphere, a throw or blanket and decorative cushions in autumn colours will be a perfect choice. At FormAdore, you'll find a huge selection of throws and blankets that will add incredible cosiness to your space and wrap you in pleasant warmth in the evening. Each of these suggestions is a perfect complement to an interior especially in Scandinavian, boho, or modern styles that lacks a touch of colour. Add a decorative 'cushion' in a similar vibe to your throw, and the whole thing will become even cosier.

Curtains in autumn shades

Curtains give an interior a unique cosiness and if they are also in autumn colours, we can create an even more interesting atmosphere. To add a moody feel to the room, it's worth opting for russet, somewhat heavier curtains, for example, those made of pleasant-to-the-touch velour. Such an accessory will wonderfully warm up the interior while enlivening it with its colour scheme. Lighter curtains in sage or khaki shades will also look equally appealing such a shade will be easy to combine with other elements of the decor.

A colourful, distinctive rug

If you want to bring cosy, warm autumn colours into your home, and you're keen to stick with light walls and furniture, opt for a colourful, distinctive rug in one of the autumn shades. You can place it in the living room or bedroom, as well as in other rooms smaller, soft rugs in the bathroom are also welcome. If you also match it in colour to the curtains or other decor elements, the interior will look even more stylish. Such an accessory will certainly not go unnoticed, and if you want to change the look of the space you can roll it up at any time.

FormAdore offers many colourful models of rugs and mats suitable for almost any room.

Table decorations

If you're looking to liven up your home space with warm, autumnal colours, consider table decorations in shades of orange, yellow, or brown. All sorts of table runners, tablecloths, or placemats will be a hit in a minimalist, colour-deprived kitchen or dining room. Such a small, unassuming accessory can significantly transform the look of your table and introduce a more cheerful, warm atmosphere into your arrangement while also protecting the surface from splashes or hot dishes.

Furniture in warm shades

Warm sandy, brown, or orange shades are increasingly appearing on furniture itself. A chest of drawers, bookshelf, or TV cabinet in one of the autumn colours can prove to be an excellent complement to a minimalist, understated interior. These types of pieces go wonderfully with light for example, white walls, but also with grey or black, creating a modern whole. A table and chairs in these colours also make the space original and stylish.
